>adding 36.5 gigawatts of annual capacity just as Europe faces an energy crisis
I sincerely doubt this installation has a rated capacity of 36.5 gigawatts. That would be the entire electricity production of the Netherlands I think.

February 2022 would've been nice.

Got any sources for that claim? Because in EU this is pretty tightly regulated.
Sure solar and wind are better alternative but they have their own drawbacks that biofuels don't have.

No, it's not just in theory. If you get wood from a production forest that you planted and also upkeep then it's renewable. It doesn't add any co2 to the air.
Burning diesel fuel would actually increase co2 in the air.

Yeah, I figured they messed up Gigawatt and Gigawatthours.
I guess when you say 11MW or 11000kW it just doesn't sound as impressive. I'm pretty sure we now have single wind turbines here in the Netherlands that are rated at more than 11MW.
